Grannies Stand Up To Armed Raiders
Updated : Jul 15, 2009
Bingo-playing pensioners stood up to armed raiders when they threw shoes and bingo boards at them.
The pair of masked robbers carried out a terrifying armed raid on a Dublin bingo hall while it was packed with women enjoying a night out.
Up to 1,000 people, many of them elderly women, were playing the game when the raiders stormed the hall.
One thief pulled a handgun on a traumatised young cashier and demanded money, while his accomplice brandished a knife.
They made off with thousands of euro in takings, under a hail of bingo cards and shoes that the outraged women threw at them.
Gardai are hunting the thieves, who made their getaway from the hall on Collins Avenue minutes later.
We know its not a 100 percent good news story but VeryHappyPig loves the image of the Granny’s taking action.
